Ingredients
  

For the Seasoning
  • 1 batch Homemade Cajun Seasoning Adds bold spice and flavor; make extra to keep on hand for future use!
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika Infuses smokiness; use regular paprika if smoked is unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Boosts savory depth; feel free to substitute with fresh minced garlic for a vibrant touch.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Parsley Enhances flavor; fresh parsley can brighten the dish even more.
For the Chicken
  • 2.5 lbs Organic Chicken Wings Disjointed; provides the main protein and texture.
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch Creates that coveted crispy coating; arrowroot starch can work as a gluten-free alternative.

Method
 

Crispy Cajun Dry Rub Chicken Wings Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken wings by cleaning them under cold water and patting them dry. In a large bowl, combine wings with cornstarch and Cajun seasoning. Toss until fully coated and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and place a wire rack on top, spraying it with cooking oil.
  3. Coat the marinated wings in remaining Cajun seasoning and place them side by side on the wire rack.
  4. Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately with dipping sauces.
